This. So much.

I kinda do hate Wordpress. I hate that it's so inefficient. It optimises for authors not readers, in that it's easy for authors to create sites and posts, but to display a post to a reader it has to fetch everything from the database and then process all the PHP code into HTML and only finally actually serve it to the user. It needs an actual server, and a database, and all that maintenance and updates, etc.

I want Hugo with a GUI (and ideally runs on a phone). Something that pushes to a static page (so free hosting on Git??b/Cloudflare/whatever) but doesn't make me jump through all the hoops that Hugo does.

what if it was backed by sqlite instead?
Still needs a server...
